Homemade fumehood

A fume hood is a safety cabinet for making chemical experiments preventing exposure of the user to dangerous gases and other dangers. Usually it is a ventilated closed box to drag off the gases. It is provided with a transparent front door so that the user can view the experiments safely. All chemical laboratories use fume hoods for performing their experiments.

As I sometimes work with acids for cleaning jewelry or do other things which expel noxious gases I decided to make my own fume hood. Of course not as professional as in labs, but it works. From an old small table with drawers from the trash I made it. I got some extra stuff from the local hardware store chain.
